YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen we think about the federal judiciary, our minds almost immediately jump to the nine justices sitting on the Supreme Court. But what if the real fight for American democracy is actually happening at the ground level, in the courtrooms of the roughly 700 federal trial judges who hold lifetime tenure? In this episode of Legal AF, host Ray Brescia unpacks the legal battles presently shaping our nation with journalist and author Reynolds Holding, who has written a new book, Better Judgment: How Three Judges Are Bringing Justice Back to the Courts. Reynolds is a Research Scholar at Columbia Law School and an acclaimed journalist, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a former corporate lawyer.
